Cnsp over 30000mAh? And not reset telem. when restart?

I'm using a FAS150 smart port current sensor with an x8r/taranis/opentx. I have a 48v/40Ah LiFeYPO4 battery pack in the vehicle and are trying to set up a low battery alarm using a custom switch reading the Cnsp value. However I cannot set it any higher than 30 000 mAh, is this a hard coded limit? A...

Re: Taranis + OpenTX. How do I measure up to 600A to telemet

Just after I posted that one I read up on OpenXSensor, I am amazed at the things that come out of the open source community. OpenXsensor seems to be exactly what I need, can't understand how I've missed it! :) From what I can understand it has been updated to now support SPort (since my X8R receiver...

Re: Taranis + OpenTX. How do I measure up to 600A to telemet

Thanks for replying! I've googled a bit and found this sensor: LEM HAS 200-S It measures up to +-600A and outputs, at +600A, 4V. The FrSky FAS-100, what voltage does that output at 100A? I'm guessing I'd need some kind of scaling in the OpenTX firmware. I'm guessing the FAS-100 sends back the data a...

Taranis + OpenTX. How do I measure up to 600A to telemetry?

Hi everyone! I'm currently involved in a project where I'm controlling a large scale rc tank. It's propelled by two 5000W brushless DC motors. The ESCs are rated at 48V and peak at 300A each, which pulls a total of 600A from the battery pack in certain scenarios. I would like to measure the amperage...
